Epiphone EISPFPENH1 P-90 SG Special Electric Guitar - Faded Pelham Blue

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Mahogany Neck, Indian Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 P-90 Pickups - Faded Pelham Blue

This distinguished Epiphone looks to Gibson's '60s-era, dual-soapbar-equipped SG Special for style and sound cues. The Epiphone SG Special comes loaded with a set of P-90 Pro pickups based on Seth Lover's iconic single-coil design. As fans of the style know, these pickups dish out serious attitude pushed into gain and a velvety smoothness with the knobs rolled back. The SG's flat-topped double-cut mahogany body provides the perfect foundation for the P-90 Pros to work their magic. Epiphone's '60s SlimTaper mahogany neck supplies ample comfort and sustain in the hand. And 1960s Gibson-styled hardware — a Lightning Bolt wraparound bridge and ivory-buttoned Epiphone tuners — endows the Epiphone SG Special with classic SG looks and modern performance.

Based on the legendary SG Special

Epiphone's SG Special resurrects a rock icon. Immortalized by Santana at Woodstock and smashed onstage by Townshend at Leeds, the 1960s Gibson SG Special stands alone in its contributions to rock 'n' roll. The same style and protestant tone lives on today in the Epiphone SG Special. This SG is the real deal, giving you genuine P-90 crunch and a tapered neck that's satisfying to get your hand around. The SG's lightweight mahogany body gives you great sustain and no pain, even if you play all night. Own your own piece of rock history: check out the Epiphone SG Special.

1960s SlimTaper neck profile — a fan favorite

Players worldwide appreciate Epiphone's 1960s SlimTaper neck profile for its fast touch and smooth playability. SlimTaper necks are thinner than their '50s-style counterparts and manage to supply palpable sustain and all-night comfort wherever you play out.

Epiphone P-90 Pro pickups

We have many fiercely loyal P-90 fans here. These guitarists know that P-90 pickups offer a unique tonal palette that is distinct from — and complements — humbuckers and traditional single-coils. Epiphone's P-90 Pro soapbars are heavily inspired by Seth Lover's original designs. These pickups are super-versatile and supply their own brand of grit — a bit brighter, leaner, and less refined than a humbucker, and almost as hot. Hit your amp hard, and the P-90 Pros really wail. Plugged into a proper high-gain tube amp, you can elicit grind, sizzle, and bark that would be impossible to achieve with other pickup types. If you're an SG lover looking for unique mid-roads tones at a great price, the Epiphone SG Special is one to keep your eye on.
